you, held you tight 'cause I love, love you so Promise I'll never let you
go In the still of the night (in the still of the night)

were bright a-a-bo-o-o-ove (I remember) I'll hope (I remember) and I'll pray
(I remember) To keep <2 piano notes> your presh <2 piano notes> shus

Well before the li-ight Hold me again With all of
your might In the still of the night (in the still of the
night)
So before the li-ight Hold me again With all of your
might In the still of the night (in the still of the night)
In the
still of the night
